How did two girls hiding in a bathroom go undetected when the school was closed down for the night? Whoever was supposed to make the final sweep is in big trouble.And why are they being charged with felony burglary ? TFA didn't say anything about significant theft or damage.This sounds like a couple of kids that had a bad idea that was aided by lax school policy.Take a belt to the both of them and send them back to school on Monday. No need to ruin anybody's lives, Jesus.

I read the Florida statutes and I did not see a misdemeanor burglary, just 1st, 2nd, 3rd class felonies. The damage/theft value only came into play for a 1st class felony ($1000). Link

Chances are pretty good that daddy won't do much smacking of his snowflake with his belt. I'd like some external punishment, more due to intentionally misleading the police/parents and wasting everyone's time than the burglary. Fines, community service, restitution -- that kind of thing.

Well...I suppose there are two factors:1) I worked for a school district in the Physical Plant office for several years. As far as I know, there was no formal "final sweep" of the buildings.2) If there were a final sweep, the purpose is probably to make sure that a student is not being left behind after falling asleep or something. Not to catch two kids actively trying to avoid getting caught.

My question is who takes out the trash/cleans the building? Looking at the place on satellite, it isn't a small place. I'd expect a night crew of 2 or 3 custodians emptying garbage, cleaning bathrooms and sweeping floors. I find it hard to believe that these little monsters decided it would be fun to hide for 8 hours until the custodians left.
